.VANTIFREEZING .nevica4 .Application fuea. May s, 1925. semi-naeaeesj n To ,all whom 'it may concern.'

Be it known that 1, ARNOLD. BOHNEN.-A nLUsT, a citizen of the ing at VRiley,rin .the county ofRileyQand State' of Kansas, have inventeda new' and useful Antifreezing Device, .of vwhich -the following isa specification. L L

This invention' aims to-.providef novel means for transmitting .motionifrom; one

pump rod to another, to provide' novel means whereby a supply of 'water may be directed away from a pump, low enough so vthat water is likely to .freeze up` Vthe pump,l and to provide .noveli means for housing bothv of. .the"instrumentalities above mentioned.

It is withinthe province of .the disclosure to improve generally and to .enhancetlie utility ofvdevices ofithatvsort. toewhich the invention appertains. .i y With the above and'other objects in .view7 which will appearas ther descriptionpro: ceeds, the invention resides in lthe combinatio-nV and arrangement of'pa-rts andgin vthe details of construction hereinafter describe-id and claimed, Yit being understood that` changes in the precise .embodiment ofthe invention .herein disclosedv maybe made 'within the scope of what is claimed,k without departing from the spirit of the invention. y .1

V.Operationpparts rap,- horizontal `section taken through tliefeasng, on the line 2-2 of Figure 3; Figure 3 is a lsectional view taken about on the line -3--3 of Figure 2; Figure l is a section taken about on the line 4-4 of Figure 3.

In carrying out the invention, there is pron vided a casing 1. The casing 1 comprises a body 2. Sideplates 3 are securedat 4to the body. The side plates 3 have outwardly extended bearings 5 located adjacent at one end of the body 2. There isa partition6 in the body 2. The partition 6 forms, in the body 2, a. first chamber 7 and avsec'ond chamber 8. At one end, the body 2 'has .a de-V pending inlet nipple 9. The inlet nipple 9 communicates with the first chamber 7. At the said end of the body 2, the same is pro'- vided with an upstanding outlet nipple 10. The nipple 10 communicates with the second chamber 3. The said end of the body 2 has ARNOLD BoHNnNBLUsLoE Ritter, KANSAS.

the valve 15 ,properly in'4 tliehousing` 12.

yThe valve 14k has a stem 20 at its upper, end.

Thestem 20 `extends outwardly througlra capl 21 threaded onk a'projection 2,2. on the 2. A,l packing 23 :may be; disposed about the steni- 20, beneathV the cap 21..,1`At its'I upper1end, the stein u2O Y has aj squared extremity 2,4. .i if

A shaft 25 is journaledlin the vbearings'b and in thepartition 6. A packing gland 2 6 preventsV leakage through, the partition, 6, about the vshaft v25. Arms 27 andi 28 are keyed at 29 to the shaft 25. TheY arnr27 is located in the chamber `8, and the arm 2S islocated in the chamberf.

The numeral 30 designates a pit seated 1n the ground 31. The numeral 32 designates, diagrammatically, a trough or other container, supplied with water through a conduit 35, under the control of a cock 50. A pump 33 is mounted on the pit 30. The casing 1 is disposed in the pit 30. A pipe 34 leads from the pump 33t@ the nipple 10 of the casing 1. The` aforesaid conduit 35 leads between the nipple 11 of the casiugl and the house 32.l Awell casing 36 is shown extending'downwardly from the pit 30.V A pipev 37is connected to the nipple 9 of the casing'land exten-ds downwardly into the casing 36. In the pipe 37, a pump 33 is disposed. The pump 38 is operated by a rod 39 located in the pipe 37. The rod 39 is Vpivoted at 4.0 to the arm 28. The rod from the pump 33 is marked by the. numeral 41.

The rod 41 extends downwardly through the pipe 34 and is pivoted at 42 to the arm 27.

The valve ltfmaylbe operated by a shaft 43 extended upwardly through the top of the pit 30 and provided at its lower end with a socket 44 secured by a cotter pin 45 Dr the like on the squared end 24 of the valve l5. The body 2 ,of the casing` 1 is provided with a detachable closure plate 46 which gives access to the packing gland 26.

When thevalve 15 is in open position, the water moves upwardly through the pipe 37, and when the cock 50 is in closed position, into the cham-ber 7, through the ports 14 ofthe valve housing 12 and through the passage 16 of the valve 15, into the chamber 8', and, from'the chamber 3, water moves 'up'- wardly through the pipe 34 to the pump 33. When the valve 15 is closed by vmeans of the operating me'mloe'r 43, and when the cock 50 is opened., lthe waiter moves upwvardly thrugh the pipe 37 into the chamber 7, and passes through the conduit 35 to the pla-ce 32 where the Ywater is to be used.

The operating mechanism for the pump 33 is designated by the numeral 47, but it will be understood that a windmill or any other kind of va motor may be used to operate the pump. Reciprocaftion is imparted to the pum-p rod 41, the rod 41 swinging 4the arm 27, the arm- 27 rocks the shaft 25, the shaft 25 swings the arm V28 and, by means of -the rod 39, the pump 38 is operated. @wing to the construction of the operating mechanism, the eli'ic'ie'ncy of the d'e'vic'eis increased. It Ywill be vobserved that the casing` 1 and parts associated therewith, are housed in the pit v30 'and are not likely to freeze. Since the two arms 27 and 2S are provided, the disadvantages incident to a long Lpump rod are avoided. r

I claim Y 1. In a device of the class described, a casing having chambers provided with openings in their outer walls, a valve controlling the passage of liquid from one of the chambers to the other,'a shaft journaled in the casing, and arms carriedby the shaft, one arm being located in each chamber.

2. A device of the class described, constructed as set forth in claim 1, and further characterized `by the provision of pipes communicating with the openings, and pump connections assembled with the arms and operating in certain of the pipes.

3. In a device of the class described, a casing having a partition defining chambers provided with openings in their outer walls, a valve controlling the passage of liquid from one of the chambers to the other, the valve being located inthe partition, means whereby Van operator may actuate .the valve from a point without the casing, a shaft journaled in the casing, and Varms carried by the sha-ft, one arm being located in each chamber. Y

4. In Va device of the Vcla-ss described, a casing provided with a first chamber and with a second chamber, the lirst -chamber having an in'let and an outlet, and the second chamber havin-gan' outlet, a valve under the governance of an operator and controlling the How of liquid from the iii-st chamber to the second chamber, a first pump located below the casing and communica-ting with the inlet of the first chamber, means for con-ducting liquid from the outlet of the first chamber to a point of use, a second pump located below the casing and commun'icating with the inlet of the second chamber, a 'shaft journaled in the casing, arms carried by' the shaft, one arm being located in each chamber, means for connecting one arm with the first pump, and mea-ns for connecting the other arm with the second pump.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my Own, l have hereto affixed my signature.
